Who doesn’t sometimes wish they could prove that they’re much better at their job than their boss? What if the stakes were even higher because you’re a super hero sidekick? That’s what Ziggy Blumenthal and Cory Harris are exploring in Sidekicked! Is that too boring

Just as in years past, I’ll be covering Baltimore Comic-Con this year. There will be a post per day where I’ll be live-blogging at the event. Then, each night I’ll post as many interviews and panel posts as I can get in before the day
